Replace local file?

[Hansen]

Is there any way to replace local files in your install dir?
There used to be this this mod mangager for example (WC3 Mod Manager v1.1.1)

Anyone got an idea if there is any way for reforged?

Just put the files you want to override into the WC3 directory.

I.e. if you wanna override "ui/war3skin.txt" you'd create a file with path "..../Warcraft III/ui/war3skin.txt"

Hey thank you! This is working for with the UI folder But it's not working for my "_locales" folder for example "Warcraft III\_locales\dede.w3mod\units\human\mortarteam". So far I have tested it and folders with _ don't seem to apply new files ...
Any idea on this?

I think this may be because the locale folders themselves are "overlayed" onto the main virtual file system before local files are applied. The whole system is a bit weird in how it prioritizes different files path. So it may be just that locales have a higher priority than local files.

I don't have much experience with this, unfortunately, so can't help you much there. If you're just modifying your local install, you could maybe try overriding the file without the locale? So, e.g. `Warcraft III\units\human\mortarteam` instead of what you were trying.
